It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image once again comes from the Colorado Railroad Museum near Golden Colorado. This is locomotive 318 is a 2-8-0 Consolidation type. It was Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1896. It began it's career on the Florence and Cripple Creek RR. The Rio Grande bought it in 1917 and used it on various lines until it's retirement in 1954. A Cornelius Hauck purchased it and moved it to the CO RR Museum where it operated on the grounds until 1982. It was then put on static display where it remains today.
Neat looking workhorse
